Does the T300 remove mold from the air?

I believe mold is relatively large, so it will. However, you will probably want to get a unit with a silver filter in it to kill any trapped mold spores.

The product advertises removal of mold spores from the air, but I haven't had an independent air analysis. I can tell you that mold is one of my allergies (among others such as my household pets) and this device has provided a marked improvement in my allergy response. As far as I'm concerned, definitely worth the investment! A quality product.

I just replaced the filters in my unit and found that there are 2 types of filters to buy. One has 'silver' in it to remove mold, I'm told and the other cheeper version by $10 doesn't have silver. I'm not sure what the unit ships with. Personally, I really like the unit and can see visually every morning no dust in the air. I also sit next to one at work making a nice pocket of clean air and reducing my allergies to mold, pollin, etc. At the 2nd power setting its very quiet like a small fan on low.

I do not know for sure if it removes mold. I am not allergic to mold, but I believe the UV light setting will kill airborne mold. I mainly got it for dust and dog dander allergies for my now toddler son. I still use it daily and love the air purifier with all its option settings and filter change indicator (changing every 9 months).

I don't know for a fact but I would say yes. I use it in my bedroom the master bathroom is right there. Though I keep the bathroom door closed now, I didn't use to before I bought the T300. Now when you go in the bathroom it is very musty so I would have to think it was in my bedroom too. Mold, I have always thought is one of my biggest problems. I have had the T300 for 2 months now and I still wake up breathing clear in the morning. It is truly the most life changing thing I have ever bought. I am allergic to just about everything. If it blows in the wind I am allergic to it most foods, gluten, drugs, you name it, year round allergies. I would have one in every room if I could afford it.

The air cannot be tested, but if you use the swab to test surfaces in the area where dust has settled that will tell you if mold is in the air because the mold spores will settle with the dust. I had a question while testing mold near the kids' shower and contacted the manufacturer at the number they provided in the instructions and they were knowledgable and helpful. I would recommend you contact them as they might have a better idea than mine.

Yes - for mold *spores*. Mold spores are from 3 to 40 microns. The BlueAir HEPA filters work down to 0.1 micron. ref: http://us.blueair.com/PDF/Particle%20Filter%20Factsheet.pdf

Hi. I'm not too sure if it does, but Gumdrop probably has another casing model for tf300t.

IMHO.......absolutely not!!!! Mold is a difficult problem to rectify because it can be so invasive. There are many mold strains, most benign but others are deadly, so tackling mold begins with proper identification. Once identified you can choose the best method of eradication. Physical removal of surface mold followed up with direct application of a mold fighting formula is your best approach. Keep in mind that repeated applications will most likely be necessary if mold infestation is severe. This Air Purifier simply is not up the task of eliminating your mold problem despite whatever claims are made. An expensive multi-stage unit would be a more suitable choice. These units are very effective but annual operating costs, in the form of replacement filters and UV bulbs, can be excessive. Just my 2 cents.

This is not a vacuum. I suggest vacuuming first -- especially the drapes (washing them, too). Hopefully there are no serious mold-spores growing amongst the walls in a musty old house. (A fumigating may be necessary.) I suppose that on a medium/high speed, this machine would most likely really help clean the air. As I mentioned in my review, it has really helped my father -- who lives along a dusty street with lots of flowers/tress. He told me again yesterday that it has helped clear his sinuses.

Yes this respirator has a P100 filter which the CDC states "filters 99.&% if airborne particles" which includes mold. Here is the CDC (Center For Disease Control) website http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/npptl/topics/respirators/disp_part/RespSource3.html

YES! The key to using this product is Patience! I started using it last year on all house and deck surfaces including deck furniture and the mold is not only gone, but DIDN'T COME BACK! I use a garden sprayer (most efficient with recommended mixture), spray it on and walk away. Some results take several weeks to be seen, but ultimately are very obvious!!

Hi J, The ozone plate/cartidge is made of ceramic. Yes, this ozone generator will kill airborne mold spores and eliminate odor for a period of time. However, NO ozone generator on the market (no matter what a manufacturer will tell you) will eliminate ALL mold spores in a contaminated area. This is because mold spores can hide in nooks and crannies in interior surfaces such as inside drywall and other porous material like clothing etc. that may not necessarily be reached by ozone purification. Generally, ozone purification treatment is used after conventional mold clean-ups that involve a bleach scrubbing of contaminated surfaces. I hope this helps and please let us know if we can help with anything else :).

I did not find a way to take it apart for cleaning... The best method I found was put to it in a jug of water with a bit of bleach and let it "dispense" the bleach solution. After repeating a few times, the odor went away but I'm not sure the mold did.

no. machines like this will help prevent new mold spores from forming. existing mold issues must be handled by a different procedure.

I have had mine for almost a year and I haven't noticed any mold. It does need to be cleaned out every so often, but I just spray it down with disinfectant and rinse it off. Comes clean every time.

I bought it to remove mold from my daughters clothes. one shirt was mostly white with some color in the middle. I poured straight bleach on the white portion with no changes. The other was a light blue silky kind of undershirt. I just threw it in the garbage. Then I decided to try mold armor. I was too skeptical cause of it containing bleach which didn't work already. I went to our local big box hardware store and got this. Sprayed on the white shirt and it was instant removal of most mold. A little more spray and you cant even tell it had mold. So I dug the silky shirt out of the trash and sprayed on again it was instant removal. I was worried about it "bleaching" but it seems to have not affected the color or material. Highly recommend. Wish I found this sooner. All the clothes I've thrown away over the years. We get water in our basement & sometimes if there's clothes on the floor they will get moldy. I also sprayed some on the moldy bathroom ceiling and it worked great for that too

Not to my knowledge. I do use it however to filter out mold spores. It filters dust particels but I have absolutely no idea about bacteria and germs!!

I purchased one for my parents home that at one time didn't have a vapor barrier under the subfloor and mold formed on the underside of the wooden floor. This in turn caused a moldy smell in the house at all times. But the green machine has eliminated that smell. Did it kill the mold under the subfloor? I doubt it, but no more moldy odor or health effects from it.

It will get the surface clean. But if you have mold, most likely you have water damage which is unfortunate and the problem will persist unless taken care of...
